Hi @Man1c M0nk3y, the validation code is on the outside of the box - see below - you can then enter the code into the site and it will set the point status to Confirmed for that order. Looking at the FAQs it looks like you only get a 0.4% discount.

Thanks guys, the emailed and did say they apply automatically when you place an order. The points thing i learned the hard way a few years ago that the code is on the shipping label which is ridiculous to be honest

It's more for them to know you've safely received the parcel.

Might email them and see if they will honour them minus code. Probably say no but nothing to lose.

Doubt it. They say they can't ever retrieve the code anyway even if they tried.

I get a code even with fleaBay purchases, but they're useless trying to credit to my rcmart account.

The points are only valued for 2 or 3 years I think... can't remember, might be confusing with my Lego account.

Kindly note that Dinball rcMart is not responsible for any accidental lost by yourself after the parcel is shipped out.
We shall be unable to provide you with the point validation code yet again since it is randomly generated by the system.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that you should keep the point validation code carefully and enter it on your point information as soon as possible once you receive.

I have 807 unclaimed points going back to 2010 - but then I didn't even know about these 'loyalty' points until last week

When I'm window shopping on RCmart via a Mac or iPhone 'Not Secure-' pops up in the browser search window. Does anyone else get this & is it worth worrying about?

I've only ever bought from them through eBay and haven't had any problems. It seems to be cheaper to buy direct, but seeing the 'Not Secure' tends to put me off.

This is because the site doesn't have an SSL connection until you reach the payment gateway.

Historically, sites only used a secure SSL (HTTPS) connection when transmitting payment information but with the increasing complexity and security concerns of the modern web, plus the reduced difficulty and cost of obtaining an SSL certificate it's now considered a good security practice to serve the whole site via SSL. Certain advanced features even require this.

You'll see non-transactional sites (like these forums) using SSL, and to drive this whole initiative forward, browsers like Chrome are now flagging non SSL sites as "Not Secure".

RCMart are a little bit behind technically, but It's not quite a serious as the browsers make out - everything worked fine with just SSL payments, full SSL is just better as it encrypts all traffic, not just your card details. As long as the checkout is secure (use PayPal to be sure) then it's fine. (In fact I've just placed an order via their site).

Probably just an expired certificate, modern browsers are so picky today... chrome downright refuses to serve me 80% of the pages I want nowadays.

Have you cleared cookies & force reload?

Viewing the site is no problem although I should really look into clearing cookies, but I’ll have to ask my daughter to give me a hand there as I’m not the most competent person with a mouse & keyboard.
